Enrichment in conservative amino acid changes among fixed and standing missense variations in slowly evolving proteins
The process of molecular evolution has many elements that are not yet fully understood. Evolutionary rates are known to vary among protein coding and noncoding DNAs, and most of the observed changes in amino acid or nucleotide sequences are assumed to be non-adaptive by the neutral theory of molecul...
